Good day to all my friends and visitors here on GD. We harvested one of the Tropicana XL girls , this is going to be a weird entry because I decided to not make a harvest entry till the other one lady finishes. Unfortunately because of my sticky fingers from all the trimming I did not make many pictures/videos of the grow itsels, to fill this void I decided on including the harvest videos and photographs. Although the final weight will be summed up in the final harvest. We finally see that our problem with the plants may not a deficiency but overfeed...decided to leave the reservoir as it is for this week and add only fresh water next week we will flush the system and for seven days the girls will only drink water. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The SE7000 runs at 520 Watt and about 33cm from the canopy and is doing an astounding job. For anyone who is interested in obtaining this efficient and affordable light fixture here's the link: https://spider-farmer.com/products/spider-farmer-upgraded-se7000-730w-commercial-led-grow-light/ A shout out to Sweet Seeds for the gift of this fenomenal genetics: https://sweetseeds.es/en/ Also I want to thank Jungle Indabox nutrients for supplying me with their excellent & affordable nutrients line: https://www.jungleindabox.cz/en That's it friends, I hope to see y'all next week, bless.

Week 6 for Ztrawberry by greenhouseseedco End of week 6 for this cultivar, shes currently at 8 mains waiting to be stretched out around the pot... still considering going for 16pots but her new nodes aren't symmetrical so it would be more difficult to do so. Only got fed water once this week.

Getting tall. I have light wind blowing on it to strengthen the stem because it will be going outside. I think I'll need to start training it early.

Я так и не понял FastBuds, может потому что в моей стране война, каждый день были ракетные обстрелы и я не смог нормально выращивать. Обновления 13.05.2023 русские террористы продолжают убивать мирных людей. Очередной ракетный обстрел Украины 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦. Моё утро началось не с кофе а из 13 взрывов ракет. россия и русские это террористы, убийцы, преступники.

Vorwort: Die Bilder dieser Woche sind leider nichts Besonderes geworden. Hab vergessen während des Gießens vergessen zu knipsen, und die Aufnahmen danach sind sehr schwach. Trotzdem dokumentiere ich sie, was wichtig ist. 🌿 Tag 29-35 - Lichtflut, Höhenflüge und erste süße Düfte Ich, Banana Purple Punch, bin diese Woche förmlich explodiert. Jeden Morgen war ich ein Stück höher, als hätte mich über Nacht jemand heimlich auseinandergezogen. Das Licht bei 100 Prozent hat mich wachgeküsst und irgendwie konnte ich dann nicht mehr aufhören. Meine Triebe arbeiten hart, meine Energien schießen überall hin. Ich weiß, der Gärtner schaut schon kritisch nach oben. Vielleicht beruhige ich mich bald. Vielleicht auch erst später. 🍌 Ich, Purple Haze, strecke mich nur so weit, wie es Sinn ergibt. Nicht zu viel, nicht zu wenig. Meine Höhe passt, meine Breite trägt mich gut. Keine Rennen, keine Dramen, nur ein ruhiger Übergang. Die Energie fühlt sich stabil an, ausgeglichen. Genau mein Ding. Wir beiden Lemon Cherry Cookies erleben gerade zwei völlig verschiedene Wochen. Ich, die Schnellere, fühle mich wie auf einem Marathonstartpunkt. Die Blüten schieben kräftig, weiß und deutlich. Mein Inneres summt, als hätte ich endlich begriffen, wohin die Reise geht. Licht, Wasser und Raum greifen perfekt ineinander. Und ich, die Gemütlichere, nehme das alles Schritt für Schritt. Warum rennen, wenn man auch sauber arbeiten kann? Meine Spitzen zeigen Blüte, aber ganz kontrolliert. Ich schaue mir alles erst einmal an und wähle meinen eigenen Rhythmus. 🍋🍒 Tag 34: Die ersten Düfte werden spürbar, zart und frisch. Tag 35: 4 Liter Wasser. Der Boden dankt es, wir auch. Die Woche war hell, laut und voller Bewegung. Jede von uns reagiert anders, jede setzt ihren eigenen Akzent. Die Blüte hat angefangen zu sprechen, noch leise, aber unverkennbar.

Weekly update for these girls. They got a defoliated and lollipopped this week. Also went full on into preflower showing pistols and flower sites everywhere. Over all they're growing like champs. Happy Growing

Day 60 – Dancing with Nature What a joy this lady is turning out to be! She continues to thrive under the unpredictable UK skies — basking in sunlight one moment, then embracing gentle showers and cloud cover the next. There’s something magical about seeing her adapt so effortlessly to nature’s rhythm without any artificial boost or intervention. Today marks her 60th day, and she’s standing proud at around 80cm, now fully settled into her flowering phase. In celebration, I gently sprinkled three teaspoons of Plagron Bat Guano over the soil — a natural phosphorus-rich kick to support vigorous flower development and promote dense bud formation in the coming weeks. It’s a subtle but effective way to stimulate her floral energy without disrupting the soil’s microbial harmony. Visually, she’s starting to reveal her potential. Bud sites are forming nicely, with promising pistil clusters at every top. The deep green foliage, wide open to catch every ray of sunlight, signals balanced nutrition, strong roots, and a resilient phenotype. No signs of stress from fluctuating weather or wind exposure, which speaks volumes about the Fast Buds genetics powering this grow. This grow has been all about minimal input — just clean, pH-balanced tap water and a homemade super soil blend. No tents, no artificial lights, no pampering. Just trust in the soil, the sun, and the strain. The fact that she’s developing so gracefully shows that outdoor growing in the UK is not only possible — it’s rewarding. Let’s see how she responds to the bat guano boost in the next few days. I have a good feeling she’ll thank me with thicker, more resinous blooms soon. 🌿

29/12/25 - Transplanted into fresh 20L livingsoil and watered 2L each

Semana 8 - La planta continúa estirándose en su proceso de floración como se puede ver en el vídeo. Recolocaré la malla en la semana 9 para mantener el scrog y realizaré una poda de bajos porque es muy tupida y no va a llegar la luz a determinadas zonas

Seeds Genetics provided me this Strain to make a Growers Diary. This is the first time I'm growing a Durban sativa strain. Got 9 seeds from the 10. Can happen. Will germinate the seeds in a paper towel. This always works for me. 💸💸💸💸💸💸 Buy seeds from Seeds Genetics Co. Copie the link doen below! https://seedsgenetics.nl/product/durban-poison-gefeminiseerd/

recently discovered she is an auto aswell, so whats gonna have to happen is, this lil lady and the northern lights are gonna go outside when my criticals come in and start taking up room and then im gonna switch, itll allow the other indicas which are bushy as hell to get some bigness on get them and criticals mature enough to veg. these AUtos the shortstuff and the Northern lights will do good getting the light from indoors till they need to be thrown outside where we got 16 hours plus of good light and some smashing conditions

Chopped her two days into week 14. What else. Buds. There are a lot of them. And they are quite large. And they look like they will require little effort to trim. What more can I wish for? I am a very happy man. Upd 1: Trimming is SO SIMPLE! Not much sticking out to begin with, because of the amazing bud structure and me plucking most bud node fans. Solid nugs which are not bothered by anything, so pulling smaller sub-bud fans is very simple too, while the buds are what I would call moist. I'll call this Moist Trim 😄 ✂️✂️✂️ Went for the best trimming tools available on the market (well at least my research concluded so) and LOVING every minute of trimming with the B-500SRF. Why would I or anyone else use something less suitable or less comfortable for such a delicate and long job is beyond me, except if you cannot afford one right now, in which case I wish you to experience it one day. Fiskars are also very good in therms of the blades, coating and cutting ability and precision, but the spring is just too stiff, like way, way to stiff for something that is to be used for hours on end. One might argue that such spring force helps overcome resin buildup, but please just rinse your instrument regularly in an appropriate solvent (ethy, iso, whatever — consider you instrument materials as well) and wipe it after. Why would you let significant amounts of resin to accumulate on such a gentle and precise tool? Kinda defeats the purpose?

Fun week! Taking this grow a lot more serious than the first run, applying all the goodness I'm learning along the way. Had to pick up a new pH meter. Found out the one I was using is/was off by about .3% which was throwing me wildly out of pH range across my grows. Honestly surprised I didn't fry all these poor little ladies. Super pumped we caught that. Now things are exactly where you'd expect them to be...happy and healthy. I'm also running this mini fully organic as well. I'm making some FPJ from kitchen scraps now, probably start that tomorrow or the next day. Funny that the container is so small I'm watering with a syringe. 😅 Hope everyone had, and is still having an awesome week! ✌️🌱

Greetings Grow Diaries! - BubbleSnake finally arrived! Have been searching months for this thing and I finally found a Canadian distributor. Very happy with this purchase. Say goodbye to Airstones! - 24hr Aerated Compost Tea with EWC, Kelp, Alfalfa, MycoGrow, Molassas, and a bit of HydroGuard from my DWC days :) - Seedlings are chugging along nicely. Transplanted to 1gals at the end of the week. ProMix HP + EWC + 70/30 blend of Gaia Green All Purpose & Power Bloom. - Noticing a deficiency or possible lockout with one (top right) after transplanting. - Looks like I have a case of spidermites on the clone :( Going to treat with Neem Oil and Neem Meal. Wish me luck! Hope they don't spread to the seedlings. Stay Tuned and Stay Blessed! 🙏👽

Comming into the 2022 season, this year I decided to go with a friend's prized cut of unknown bag seed origins. It was free and the flower I smoked was amazing. Let's see how they do this year. So as always started with 15 gal fabric pots and filled them up with promix hp. Amended the soil with 70/30 ratio of Gaia green 444 and 284 at 4tspg. This year I also decided to amend the soil with worm castings at 7.5lbs/15gal of soil. For watering we used tap water @6.4pH mixed with 50mL of molassas to 5 gal of water. Stick trap indicators are put up to monitor pests such as gnats. The ladies are about 6-8weeks old clones for reference. See you on the next update!

🍻 to Week Two of 🌸🌺🌻!!! Looks like all is well. Scrogged & did my last foliar feed of Magic Green last night, the girls look upright and healthy as can be. Trainwreck still thriving. May nickname this plant Batman, seems impenetrable. G13 is responding crazy to the light... the sites under the light are a bright green, yet those far from light are dark green. Tough to say it's a nutrient problem as the plant looks healthy, just light in color. Banana was initially the bully of the group. If you look at the first two weeks of this plant, you'd think Trainwreck was her and vice versa. IMO, I think Trainwreck and G13 just teamed up and took over the tent leaving little space for Banana to expand its sites. This was my most anticipated grow, oh well, next time I'll grow it by itself and make sure that one plant fills the whole tent. Looking forward to the pistil production and 🤞 they all stay in schedule and are ready to harvest in about 7 more weeks which would be exactly April 20th.... Ta-Da!!! Day 56 Update (3/7/21): Trainwreck and G13 are nearing 30 inches tall while Banana is around 27 inches and GSC is 22 inches. Going to lightly trim on Day 58, and then a HEAVY SCROG & DEFOLIATION on Day 59, The start of Week 3 of Flower. Looking forward to seeing them bare naked and then bushy again... I hope 🤞🤞🤞 EC is much higher than I'd like it right now at 2.02, but the plants aren't showing any signs of stress. I may toss GSC and just give more room for G13 and Trainwreck to spread their canopies. but I've been catering to it for this long, might as well see it through.

Plant really took off over the last week. I had flushed the soil and been doing water schedule by weight instead of by visual/topsoil moisture. Leaves are almost double the size from this time last week. Moved the light back down a few inches. Update: started some lite lst, mostly just moving big leaves out of the way for smaller branches

The organic girl got transplanted in 7l pot with all-mix biobizz soil at the beginning of the week. The first watering after that was a week later. The EC of the run-off was on 2.53 as you can see in the picture, so I flushed it with ph(6.5) water mixed with the nuts I mention above(EC 0.32). I flushed until the EC got down to 1.3. I don't want it to get burned again cuz of the high EC in the soil. As of today, day 29, the newly adolescent plant is looking perky again. As far as I can read on the Biobizz bottles, all the nuts have a very acidic ph. That makes sense considering that they are organic and they need to have a long shelf life. No bacteria or fungus will go in such an acidic medium. Therefore I find it essential to increase the ph of the water after adding the nuts. Another thing I noticed is that they now released a CalMag product(finally), which they recommend using especially when using RO water.
